"Brothers, stop messing around with those half-baked chains, let's get something that actually works!"

At first, I thought he was bragging about his private placements again, but then he threw out a screenshot of his wallet—dozens of transactions, all confirmed in seconds, with fees that are ridiculously low.
I curious ask: which chain?
He smiled: "What test chain are you still playing with? I've moved to @arbitrum."
I thought to myself, isn't this just a Layer 2 on Ethereum? How different could it be? But after trying it out, I was really impressed by it:
So fast that you question your life.
The transaction fees are as low as if they were free.
It also inherits the security of Ethereum, so there are basically no concerns.
Its ecosystem is ridiculously large:
500+ dApps, Uniswap, Aave, GMX all launched here. DeFi is not just a slogan, it has real users and real transactions.
Developers can migrate with almost zero learning cost, and EVM compatibility is the main benefit.
The best part is the user experience —
No chain cutting, no block waiting, no being taken advantage of; as soon as the wallet opens, it can start working. This is the Web3 I envision.
Later I found out that in addition to the mainnet Arbitrum One, there is also Arbitrum Nova which is specifically for games and social use, with transaction fees low enough to allow for casual transactions.
I originally just wanted to test it out, but now most of my on-chain operations have moved to Arbitrum.
——There’s nothing much to argue about, it’s currently the most powerful chain in L2.
